A hidden gem in Kitchener. The historical house is only open October-December but the grounds are open year round. There's a covered patio area with lots of tables and seating as well as a large nicely groomed lawn/ perfect for gatherings with friends and family. Surrounding the area is a beautiful old-growth area with well maintained foot paths and an old train track. We saw lots of blue Jays!

Nice grounds at this historic site. There is a little man made pond, a bunch of benches, some picnic tables under a covered area, some green space, parking, and the building itself that is currently closed. There is a small trail through the forest. There are park hours but not sure about the enforcement.

Wonderful place to visit! You can freely roam around to explore every room and take your time admiring the furniture and everything else. The house is well managed and I could even live there )). Staff was very polite and offered us freshly baked shortbread which was delicious.

Small, but nicely done with pleasant staff. Good for kids as it's small and has open outdoor spaces. Only open 3 months a years, so has a stuffy smell when it is within first couple weeks of opening.

The childhood home of Canada's 10th Prime Minister, William Lyon McKenzie King, located on Wellington St in Kitchener, Ontario. Very nice location, and well cared for.
